Confused about tags

Question

I'm tried to following the how-to implement tags but can't see to get it to work. The how-to: https://craftcms.com/support/tag-urls

I created a new route, and in the URI field, I entered:

tags/( ‘tag’ token )

In the template field I entered:

tags/_tag

I created a folder in my template folder called tags and placed the template html file called:

_tags.html

_tags.html contains the following:

{% extends "_layout" %}
{% block content %}
    {% set tag = craft.tags.title(tag).first() %}

    <h1>Entries tagged with "{{ tag.title }}"</h1>

{% set entries = craft.entries.relatedTo(tag).order('title') %}

{% if entries | length %}
    <ul>
        {% for entry in entries %}
            <li>{{ entry.getLink() }}</li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% else %}
    <p>No entries could be found with that tag.</p>
{% endif %} 
{% endblock %}

In my entry template, at the bottom, I have this snippet to list all related tags and to hyperlink those tags.

{% if entry.tags | length %}
    <h4>Tags</h4>
    <ul>
    {% for tag in entry.tags %}
        <li><a href="{{ siteUrl }}tags/{{ tag.title | url_encode }}" title="{{ tag.title }}">{{ tag.title }}</a></li>
    {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% endif %}

An example of my entry is located below. It correctly shows the tag called 'Platformer' http://www.colorcomputergames.com/games/donkey-king

The URL, looks good. http://www.colorcomputergames.com/tags/Platformer

But when I go to the url, I get a 404

Cheers

You told Craft to look for tags/_tag

And then you created templates/tags/_tags.html

Note you have no s on the end in the route definition, but you do in the template name.
